Conference Announcement

PROTEIN DYNAMICS AND FUNCTION

This focussed conference will explore frontiers in experimental and theoretical understanding of biomolecular dynamics and the connection between dynamics and function.

Specific Topics Include:

Simulation at multiple length-scales

AFM, fluorescence, NMR and neutron methods for probing dynamics

Dynamics for protein function including allostery and catalysis

Accommodation and conference sessions will be at Collingwood College, Durham University, UK including a conference dinner in Durham Castle. It is organised jointly between Durham University’s Biophysics Sciences Institute and FZ Jülich. Bursaries for UK PhD students are available from the British Biophysical Society.
